module deps / location

Hi,

I have some comments on locatemodule() and resdeps() in dracut-functions.

resdeps() shouldn't need to loop to find all the module dependencies. "modprobe --show-depends" will show all the dependencies of a module, both direct and indirect.

And in locatemodule(), I can't understand why it tries to continue if the full path from "modprobe --showdepends" does not exist. I would expect it to just give up (and perhaps suggest re-running depmod), rather than searching for the module in other locations. Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks
Alan
